Lot 3390
1854 $5 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-63. Well struck and quite choice with delicate golden-sunset toning. Has a faint graze in the frost at the mouth. Dazzling luster with intense cartwheel effects on the satiny surfaces. Nicely struck in almost all areas. Exceedingly choice for the grade. Much rarer in About Uncirculated or finer than its somewhat sizeable mintage of 160,675 pieces suggests. Half Eagles of the day were made strictly for utilitarian purposes, with no numismatic thoughts in mind, which is why within a few years nearly all examples were worn. Pop 8; 2 finer in 64 (PCGS # 8256) .
Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000.
